I found a large number of people search for tips and advices on how to make their furniture look untouched for years. Here I am describing some valuable tips that can surely help you achieve your desired objectives.
The very first you need to do is to ensure regular cleaning of furniture and it makes dust away from the delicate items. Make sure to use good quality wood polish and paints as the application of polish ensures long life of your furniture. Always remember that life of the wood paints can be increased by polishing it as this won't let the wood dry quickly. Try to apply the wood polish at least once a year either with spray polish, liquid polish, or semi-solid polish.
While applying the wood polish/paints, use soft and white cloth and always polish in the direction of the grains of the wood. Try not to use wood polish containing silicone or alcohol. Spray polishes or aerosols are easiest but they contain silicone so they must be avoided. There are different types of liquid polishes available such as emulsion polishes and oil type polishes. Waxes, oils and organic solvents are the emulsion polishes whereas paraffin, lemon oil and mineral, linseed oil and walnut oil are the oil type polishes. Lemon oil is considered as the best polish for wood.
The third section of wood polish includes semi solid polishes or paste waxes. These pose least harm to wood than the rest of the categories. But do not apply wax very frequently as a thick coat of wax above the surface of the wood will be created leading to its unattractive appearance. Although using wax polish is hard but always go for the semi solid wax polish for your wood furniture, cabinets and floor as it is the safest and does not cause any damage to your wood.
You can also choose to mix lemon oil in three parts of olive oil. Use this mixture as wood polish at home. Use scratch powder to cover the scratches on wood furniture. To apply this take a white soft cloth, apply powder on it and firmly rub it on the surface of wood. To remove candle wax from your dining room furniture or any other wood let the wax get hardened after cooling. Now apply ice on it. Take plastic spatula to scrap the wax off.
